In addition to that, this study proposing effective strategies for enhancing the BIM implementation in Malaysia such as introducing of BIM in university curriculum, BIM enforcement from the authority and others.

Technology Readiness Index (TRI) for Measurement of User Readiness in ERP Implementation in the Marketing Department

Customer Relationship Management is part of the ERP System as one of the company's strategies to know and understand consumers as well as an approach that views consumers as the core of the company's business and success. PT. Selaras Hutama Mandiri (SHM) needs to analyze the readiness of Customer Relationship Management users with the aim of preventing failures during the implementation process which will have an impact on the company's business processes. By looking at the existing Human Resources, they are still unfamiliar with the use of technology, so it is feared that the technology to be adapted cannot be used by existing human resources. The method used is the Technology Readiness Index which refers to the tendency of users to adopt and use new technology in the work environment with the variables Optimism, Innovation, Discomfort and Insecurity. The results obtained that the independent variable that has an influence on the readiness of Customer Relationship Management users in operating or using Customer Relationship Management is the innovation variable with a value of sig .001 < from probability 0.05 and the t test has t count > t table, namely 5.916 < 2.365. Other independent variables Optimism, Discomfort and Insecurity did not affect users in operating or using Customer Relationship Management. Meanwhile, the independent variable simultaneously influences the dependent variable on the readiness of the Customer Relationship Management (Technology Readiness) users. So that the company' s concerns with the readiness and ability of employees to use technology can be overcome by an analysis using the Technology Readiness Index method that they are ready to use Customer Relationship Management. It is very important to analyze user readiness so that the technology applied to the company's business processes can be appropriate, meaning that technology implementation is not only a trend but in accordance with company needs.

Modelling on the Readiness in Implementation of Bike Sharing System at University

Private vehicle ownership in University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) has increased year after year, resulting in severe traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours. In this research, it is hypothesised that the mode of transportation chosen by UMS students may be determined by the affordability of the bike sharing system's rental fee. This research has been carried out to model on Faculty of Science and Natural Resources student’s readiness to implement bike sharing system at University Malaysia Sabah. The key objective of this research is to develop transport model of the user’s readiness to shift from the private vehicle to bike sharing system in terms of rental charging factor (per use and per hour) in Ringgit Malaysia (RM). In the conclusion of the study, a transportation model on rental charges will be established, and it is anticipated that once rental pricing is introduced, the percentage of private vehicles that are converted to bike sharing will increase. Transferring private car users to a bike sharing scheme has the potential to lower the number of private automobiles in the UMS and so assist alleviate traffic congestion. Hypothetically, this concept is seen necessary for mitigating the negative influence of private vehicles in UMS. The Stated Preference Survey was employed in this study. Questionnaires were prepared and delivered online to 160 responders. Following that, the data is analysed using linear regression to create a logistic model. The model predicts that the number of individuals ready to use bike sharing system increase linearly when the rental charging fee decreases. Therefore, as the rental charging fee reduce, more people will shift to bike sharing system.

Kesiapan Akademic Dan Persepsi Untuk Implementasi Pendidikan Interprofessional

Background: Interprofessional Education (IPE) is a collaborative practice between two or more health professions that learn each other's role of a profession that aims to improve collaboration skills and quality of healthcare. This research aims to analyze the perception and readiness of students and lecturers about IPE for the financial improvement of health education.

Teacher Readiness in Promoting 21st Century Skills in Teaching English as a Foreign Language at Primary Schools

Twenty-first-century skills have been long known and used to accelerate teachers' quality and education in Indonesia. The skills that include life and career skills, learning and innovation skills, media, technology, and information skills must be inserted into classroom practices to improve students' learning competencies and learning outcomes. Despite its importance and having been long introduced, there is still limited research conducted on the investigation of primary teachers' readiness to promote classroom skills. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the primary school teachers' readiness to promote 21st-century skills. The readiness was analysed in two dimensions: readiness in terms of 21st-century skills concepts as indicated by self-perception about 21st-century learning and indicated by their readiness in the actual implementation. Six primary school teachers from several schools in Bali were involved. The study used a mixed-method design, and the data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, and direct observation. The data were analysed using descriptive quantitative analysis and supported with qualitative description. The results show that the teachers perceived themselves as ready to implement the skills; however, direct observations show different findings. Some of the skills are not implemented. This finding implies that teachers need to improve their understanding and develop competencies in implementing 21st-century skills.

Elementary school teachers’ perceptions of STEM: What do teachers perceive?

At the moment, educational issues are developing and rapidly increasing. One of the examples is the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics called STEM. In Indonesia, STEM is a relatively new concept that is booming with potential. In the mathematics classroom, teachers have to facilitate students exploring STEM activities in the learning process. In response to this, SEAMEO Regional Centre for QITEP in Mathematics has embarked its programme through training and research. This paper reports on a study that investigated what teachers perceive about STEM Education which can support STEM education practices. Moreover, this article explains integrative nature of STEM activities provided. The STEM activities designed are related to the concept of resilience in bungee jump (Science) and proportional relationships between quantities (Mathematics). A survey method has been chosen in this study and data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires and interviews. The results of this study provide an understanding of teachers’ perceptions of STEM which includes teachers’ pedagogical needs and teachers’ readiness in the STEM implementation. These findings suggest that teachers have positive perceptions on the STEM integration in the mathematics learning. There are some recommendations that intensively STEM trainings for teachers, learning resources in the STEM integration, pedagogical supports from Indonesia Ministry of Education, and textbooks that provide STEM-related projects are needed.

Sosio-Technology analysis of SMEs readiness in quality management system implementation

Generic requirements of ISO 9001 make it applicable to all types of organizations including SMEs. However not a few of SMEs are not able to obtain recognition or certification from ISO 9001. Problems faced by SMEs are lack of capital and access, limited human resources, low knowledge and skills to weak business networks and market penetration ability is alleged to be the cause. This certainly does not mean that SMEs are not able to apply ISO 9001. In the initial survey research, researchers found some SMEs took the initiative to successfully obtain certification. This study aims to examine the level of readiness of SMEs in the application of quality management system in terms of socio-technology. The research method used is survey with descriptive quantitative approach. The results showed that overall the level of SME quality culture is still relatively low with an average score of 2.15. This means that the level of readiness of SMEs in the implementation of quality management system is also said to be low. Some principles of quality management have been done but still far from ideal conditions where quality aspects have not been a priority of SMEs.

A Review on Cloud Computing Acceptance Factors

Cloud computing technology is regarded as a highly useful application for organization due to advantages such as long-term cost saving, easy access of data at any given time and economically. In fact, there are lots of free cloud storage provider these days whereby user can easily store and shared their organizational data easily and efficiently.

An examination of the influences of desired organisational capabilities in the preparation stage of business process re-engineering projects

To implement successful business process re-engineering (BPR) initiatives, several capabilities have been identified. Required capabilities before and during implementing of BPR projects have been introduced for achieving success. The literature has suggested various approaches to assessing readiness and implementation of BPR projects. However, lack of a practical measurement method is evident. Therefore, in this paper, a practical measurement tool for requiring capabilities is proposed to enhance the chances for successful implementation of BPR by mapping these capabilities on steps of BPR projects. In addition, the relations between these capabilities and BPR success barriers are identified. This tool includes a generic questionnaire that can be helpful for self-assessment of readiness based on the desired organisational capabilities (DOCs) in BPR efforts. In the questionnaire proposed in this paper, various indicators have been identified for assessing readiness in BPR implementation. These indicators include 21 categories based on DOCs. This report indicates the importance of each DOC in various steps and the influence of DOCs on different barriers of success. We report the results of a survey based on the questionnaire, which was conducted in four Iranian organisations. Based on the results gathered from this examination, the study offers several guidelines for increasing the points of success and decreasing the points of failure and, hence, increasing the rate of success before and during implementation.
